Open to senior SEO & content roles

I build search systems, not just content calendars.

SEO & content strategist, 5+ years. I lead organic growth for 10+ brands across AI, SaaS, healthcare, real estate and D2C — and I build the automation underneath it, so the strategy still runs after the deck is closed.

02 What I do

Six things I get hired for.

The common thread: I don't hand over a strategy document and leave. I build the pipeline, the quality gate and the reporting layer that make the strategy survive contact with a real content team.

01

LLM-first SEO

AEO, GEO, AIO and SXO as one stack — structuring content so it gets cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, not just ranked below them.

02

Technical & on-page SEO

Full-site audits, schema architecture, meta systems at SKU scale, sitemap and robots hygiene, llms.txt, index bloat cleanup, Core Web Vitals triage.

03

Programmatic SEO

Location × condition × service page systems for multi-location businesses — built off real search demand and CMS-mapped fields, not a template that silently drops half its meta.

04

Editorial & content strategy

Pillar architecture, keyword-to-intent mapping, and long-form editorial (1,400–2,500 words) written to a readability floor and a citation standard, not to a word count.

05

Lifecycle & retention

Newsletters, drip automation, segmentation and WhatsApp retention flows — the channels that make organic traffic worth acquiring twice.

06

Marketing automation

Airtable-routed content pipelines, Make and n8n scenarios, CMS publishers for Webflow / WordPress / Shopify, and reporting that pulls itself from GSC, GA4 and GMB.

03 Selected work

Seven engagements, in their own words.

Six of these were delivered through Yard AI, where I lead the SEO and content workstream. The client relationships belong to the agency, so I describe them by category rather than by name — discretion is part of the job. Happy to talk specifics in a conversation. Open any card for the brief, what I built, and where it landed.

D2C Kidswear Brand Kids' ethnic wear · India · Shopify · via Yard AI

A loved brand that search couldn't find: 286 products sitting under Shopify default metas, and a catalogue split only into “boys” and “girls”.

  • LLM SEO
  • Technical SEO
  • Taxonomy
  • Retention
  • Reporting

The problem

The site had 286 products and roughly 95 collections in the sitemap. Not one sampled product page had a written meta description — all auto-generated from body copy. Collection titles were inconsistent down to the spelling. And the information architecture mirrored the warehouse, not the parent: someone searching “anarkali for a 4-year-old for a wedding” had no path into the catalogue at all.

What I did

  • Re-cut the taxonomy the way parents actually search — occasion × age band × silhouette — instead of boys/girls.
  • Wrote a fixed meta-title formula and rolled it across every product and collection, plus a noindex / redirect list for internal and duplicate collections.
  • Built the LLM-SEO layer so the brand is answerable, not just rankable, in AI search.
  • Shipped standalone boys / girls / siblings landing pages, grounded in the live product catalogue.
  • Automated the monthly SEO report — GSC and GA4 pulled straight into a client Google Sheet.

The brand now surfaces inside AI-search answers for high-intent ethnic-wear queries — a first in the category — with an SEO system the team can run without me.

Multi-Location Mental Healthcare Group Residential + outpatient · Delhi-NCR · 11 locations · via Yard AI

Two separately-branded arms, no schema, no sitemap, no GMB optimisation, and a report someone rebuilt by hand every week.

  • Local SEO
  • Programmatic SEO
  • Brand consolidation
  • Content pipeline
  • Reporting automation

The problem

The group runs residential rehabilitation and outpatient mental healthcare across Delhi-NCR — but had grown up as two separately-branded businesses marketing to one patient journey. On the search side the intake audit was blunt: no schemas, no meta tags, no sitemap, no robots.txt, no llms.txt, no Google Business Profile optimisation, and no reporting infrastructure.

What I did

  • Ran the full-site SEO audit and wrote the naming and content standard for consolidating both arms into one brand.
  • Designed the programmatic SEO system — location, condition and service page templates — and mapped it to what the CMS actually renders, after finding fields the template silently dropped.
  • Optimised and tracked 11 Google Business Profiles, wiring the metrics pull through an automation layer when the direct API was unavailable.
  • Built the three-stage blog pipeline — topic → content → Webflow publish — with quality gates at each handoff.
  • Automated the weekly SEO report: GSC, GA4 and GMB into a single client sheet, on a schedule.

One unified search footprint across 11 locations, and a weekly report that produces itself instead of costing a day.

Luxury Real-Estate Developer Residential · Gurugram · HNI / NRI buyers · via Yard AI

Two websites, a high-net-worth audience, and a client brief that explicitly ruled out volume blogging.

  • Programmatic SEO
  • Editorial standard
  • PR tracking
  • Monthly reporting

The problem

Real estate SEO defaults to publishing daily and hoping. This client wanted the opposite: four blogs a month, maximum, and a search strategy that could carry a luxury positioning without ever naming a competitor or quoting a price that hadn't been verified that week.

What I did

  • Owned keyword research, content pillars and the SEO roadmap across both the group site and the flagship project site.
  • Replaced the volume-blogging plan with a programmatic layer — hyper-local, question-led and LLM-answer pages — sized to real search demand.
  • Split branded from non-branded query performance so the client could see what marketing was actually creating versus harvesting.
  • Built the editorial gate: a hard readability floor, short-paragraph rules, an inline source for every statistic, and no price published without live verification.
  • Set up the monthly SEO report and a PR coverage tracker reconciled against the live media page every run.

Four high-standard articles a month plus a scalable programmatic layer — with a fact-verification gate that blocks publishing rather than warning about it.

Astro-Tourism Resort Destination hospitality · Rajasthan · WordPress · via Yard AI

Building a direct-booking content channel for a category most travellers don't know exists yet — and reducing OTA dependency in the process.

  • Content automation
  • WordPress SEO
  • Technical debugging

The problem

A destination property in an emerging category, dependent on OTAs for discovery, with no organic content engine and a WordPress stack nobody had audited.

What I did

  • Adapted the four-stage content pipeline to publish into WordPress via the REST API instead of Webflow.
  • Seeded 80 topics across six content pillars into an Airtable calendar running a proper status machine — planned → in progress → ready for review → approved → published.
  • Held every article to a readability floor and insisted on real location photography over stock or AI imagery.
  • Diagnosed why the SEO meta and Article / FAQ structured data were silently disappearing on publish — the custom meta fields were never registered on the WordPress side — and scoped the fix.

A direct-booking content channel that runs on a state machine, and a structured-data bug caught before it cost another 25 posts their rich results.

Festival & Puja Essentials Brand D2C + Amazon marketplace · India · via Yard AI

Marketplace listings that ranked but didn't convert, and a retention funnel nobody had audited since launch.

  • Marketplace SEO
  • Conversion audit
  • Retention copy
  • WhatsApp CRM

The problem

A festival-cycle business where demand arrives in sharp, dated spikes — so a listing that converts badly in week one of Navratri can't be fixed in week three, and a retention journey that misfires costs a whole season.

What I did

  • Ran an Amazon conversion and title audit, delivered as a SKU-level rewrite table rather than a list of opinions.
  • Wrote the retention copy deck for the lifecycle messaging system.
  • Audited the live retention funnel — A/B copy variants, the 60-day post-purchase win-back trigger — and documented the naming convention the team was quietly breaking.
  • Built the 2026–27 WhatsApp campaign calendar around the actual festival cycle, segmented by region where the occasion demanded it.

Listings, lifecycle copy and a full-year campaign calendar that a seasonal business can plan against instead of react to.

Boutique Yoga & Pilates Studio Wellness · Singapore · via Yard AI

A studio with genuine community and no system for staying in touch with it.

  • Lifecycle email
  • Newsletter
  • Campaign design

The problem

Boutique fitness lives or dies on retention, not acquisition. The studio had loyal members, a strong in-studio experience, and no lifecycle communication holding it together between visits.

What I did

  • Designed the 2026 lifecycle email system and automation map — the triggers, the segments and what each one is allowed to say.
  • Wrote and built the newsletter programme, shipped with A/B render variants to test tone and layout rather than guess.
  • Produced campaign creative and copy for workshop launches, including sound healing and chakra series.

A lifecycle programme the studio can run on a calendar, in a market where members choose on habit.

Outlier Coder's Newsletter Scale AI · developer community · global

Zero to 116,000+ subscribers, and a 44% average open rate held the whole way up.

  • Newsletter
  • Community ops
  • Events

The problem

Scale AI needed a direct channel to its global contributor community — one that could recruit, onboard and retain technical contributors without paying for the audience twice.

What I did

  • Built the Outlier Coder's Newsletter from scratch to 116K+ subscribers, sending 1.2M+ emails at a 44% average open rate and 1.1% CTR.
  • Ran hackathon operations end to end — 4,000+ sign-ups and 800+ verified submissions — and streamlined contributor onboarding and submission flow.
  • Led webinars with 400+ attendees: speaker outreach, session design and post-event engagement.

A community channel that grew two orders of magnitude without the open rate collapsing — the number most newsletters lose first.

04 How the work runs

The part most strategists leave out.

Content strategy fails at the handoff. So I build the handoff: a four-stage pipeline where every article moves through a status machine, and no stage can hand off work that hasn't passed its gate. Forked per brand — same skeleton, different CMS.

Stage 01

Topic

Search demand and LLM-answer gaps become a seeded calendar mapped to content pillars.

→ Planned

Stage 02

Content

Long-form drafted against intent, structure and schema — one markdown artifact per article.

→ In progress

Stage 03

Imagery

Covers and inline visuals routed by type, with variety and brand rules enforced, not suggested.

→ Ready for review

Stage 04

Publish

Straight into Webflow, WordPress or Shopify with metas and structured data attached.

→ Approved → Published

Gates that block

Readability floor, paragraph-length limits, an inline live source for every statistic, and no unverified price or claim. A failing article doesn't get a warning — it doesn't get published.

Reporting that pulls itself

GSC, GA4 and Google Business Profile metrics scheduled into client sheets — weekly for some brands, monthly for others. Nobody rebuilds a tab by hand.

One stack, many brands

The same skeleton runs across Webflow, WordPress and Shopify clients. A fix made once propagates; a new brand starts at week four, not week one.

05 Experience

Finance first. Then community. Then search.

I started in audit and receivables, which is where I learned to distrust a number I can't trace. That habit is the reason my SEO reports reconcile.
